In 2009 I put together the show 'Resonate'.
It had started in 2007, with a small cabaret with the title 'Happenings' in The Space Arts Centre in the Isle of Dogs in London. I got the chance to perform my juggling piece with a live pianist. The music and my juggling piece worked so well together and while I kept spending all my time practicing juggling at the Circus Space in London, I got the idea for a show comprised of juggling, musicians and circus artists. I quite randomly involved people I had met along my way in London. It turned into a collaboration of many different artists and 'Resonate' was the result of it all..
The show premiered at Jacksons Lane Theatre in London/Highgate on 8th and 9th April.

'Resonate' - An evening of aerial feats, stunning acrobatics and impressive juggling underlined by live music ranging from classical to modern. This collaboration has been a unique opportunity for performers from the circus and music world to work together and to fuse their skills. The result is a show of the two arts presented in a context which is surreal, twisted and out of the ordinary.....
